This year SomaFM is hosting the Nerd New Year broadcast on DEF CON Radio.

The 2015 edition, the eighth, is another 8-hour dive into some of the best artists, releases, and tracks of 2015, but is definitely far from comprehensive. With nearly 1400 top-ranked tracks during 2015, it was a bit of a task to distill the essence of the year into 8 hours and eight pieces, but, once again, it’s here.

Playlists for each hour will be posted as a companion to the Mixcloud upload for each part, which will start the first Wednesday of January and be weekly through February.

Thank you again to SomaFM for their help and to you, the listener, for…listening.
